ANNOUNCE: PyBindGen 0.8
by Gustavo Carneiro 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

The other day I released PyBindGen 0.8. Main news is that it features a new experimental header file scanner based on pygccxml (i.e., it's similar to py++ in scope, if not in maturity, but does not use boost.pythonunderneath). == What == PyBindGen is a Python module that is geared to generating C/C++ code that binds a C/C++ library for Python. It does so without extensive use of either C++ templates or C pre-processor macros. It has modular handling of C/C++ types, and can be easily extended with Python plugins. The generated code is almost as clean as what a human programmer would write, and does not depend on any library or header files besides Python itself. == Where == https://launchpad.net/pybindgen/ == NEWS == - Support C++ instance attributes through getter/setter methods - Support functions as methods of C++ classes - Support the PyObject* type - Support unsigned int, C strings (char*) (from Mark Lee) - Add basic support for enum types - New experimental automatic module generator based on C/C++ header file scanner and annotations in comments, using pygccxml - Some bug fixes -- Gustavo J.

Garbage output from warnings with embedded python
by Campbell Barton 29 May '09

29 May '09

Recently I wanted to deprecate some functions in our the C api, and found that warnings give weired output when running through through our C api. A simple test is to do this... print range(1.5) When I run this from python I get good output.. test.py:1: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float print range(1.5) But when running from our C api I get /home/ideasman42/blender-svn/blender/blender.bin:1: DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float ELF�p40�"4()&44�4�44�4��F��F��F�K �K ğ<@G�K �K xxHH�H� P�td�2?��C ��C L,L,Q�td/lib/ld-linux.so.2GNU��8�1LQ �U�N�.yH {��d I thought this was todo with running a compiled string so I tried PyRun_String() on the text buffer instead of PyEval_EvalCode() but the same problem. Id be interested to know if anyones embedded python gives proper warnings. On Linux testing with python 2.6 here. -- - Campbell

Correct use of PyTuple_Pack?
by Philip Semanchuk 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

Hi all, I'm trying to make sure I'm using PyTuple_Pack() correctly. This code leaks references, yes? return PyTuple_Pack(2, PyString_FromString("some string"), PyInt_FromLong(42)); And this is the correct way to do it, yes? py_msg = PyString_FromString("some string"); py_type = PyInt_FromLong(42); py_return_tuple = PyTuple_Pack(2, py_msg, py_type); Py_DECREF(py_msg); Py_DECREF(py_type); return py_return_tuple; Thanks for the confirmation Philip

Python segfaulting on exit
by Aaron Staley 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Recently (I suspect after I upgraded to Ubuntu Intrepid), python has been segfaulting whenever it exits AND my Cpp extension has been importing. The exact error (from valgrind is): ==11326== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV) ==11326== Access not within mapped region at address 0x40 ==11326== at 0x5BAF974: (within /lib/libselinux.so.1) ==11326== by 0x5BA8B8D: (within /lib/libselinux.so.1) ==11326== by 0x5BA11D7: (within /lib/libselinux.so.1) ==11326== by 0x5BB134F: (within /lib/libselinux.so.1) ==11326== by 0x400E152: (within /lib/ld-2.8.90.so) ==11326== by 0x40B6D68: exit (in /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc-2.8.90.so) ==11326== by 0x80ED204: handle_system_exit (pythonrun.c:1620) ==11326== by 0x80ED3FC: PyErr_PrintEx (pythonrun.c:1064) ==11326== by 0x80ED661: PyErr_Print (pythonrun.c:978) ==11326== by 0x80EDC87: PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags (pythonrun.c:795) ==11326== by 0x80EDDB7: PyRun_InteractiveLoopFlags (pythonrun.c:723) ==11326== by 0x80EE515: PyRun_AnyFileExFlags (pythonrun.c:692) Has anyone seen this before? This is not a showstopper for me, but it is a bit annoying. Thanks, Aaron
